He was a graduate of Auburn University, a United States Marine and for most of his life ran the family insur­ance and real estate busi­ness "F.M. Kohn and Son''. Tilford was the kind of friend everyone hopes to have but few do have. He never turned down any request for help usually at his expense. Every­one who knew him knew what an honorable man he was. He was born and died in the same house. He will be exceedingly missed by his family and friends. His last services were done with the immediate family and done in the way he wanted.
